"Reached the eight level, only the final leap needed!"
Taking a full hour, Long Yan finally reached the eighth level, inducing an indescribable excitement among everyone. It felt like it wasn't Long Yan climbing to such a height but they themselves.
Upon reaching the eighth level, Long Yan's ascent slowed considerably, but he made no pause, continuing to ascend towards the ninth level.
"The final step, it may take a little longer, but it should be feasible."
A gleam of ambition rose in Long Yan's eyes, his heart swelling with anticipation.
Setting foot on the ninth level of the Heavenly Ladder would grant him entry to the Divine Tomb. All his lingering questions would be answered once he entered the tomb. Only one last step remained, and naturally, he would strive with all his might to reach it.
"I must ascend!"
